1.	Definitions.  As used in this Agreement, the following terms have the following meanings: 
 A.   "You." Means you the individual using the SOFTWARE as well as your employer if you are using the SOFTWARE within the scope of your employment. 
B.   	"NI." Means (i) National Instruments Corporation, a company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware, U.S.A., if the SOFTWARE is manufactured in the U.S.A.; (ii) National Instruments    Ireland Resources Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the Republic of Ireland, if the SOFTWARE is manufactured in the Republic of Ireland or the SOFTWARE is DIAdem, DIAdem Clip, DIAdem Insight, or DASYLab; and (iii) National Instruments Europe Kft, a limited liability company organized under the laws of Hungary, if the SOFTWARE is manufactured in Hungary. If you are not sure where the SOFTWARE is manufactured, please contact National Instruments Corporation, 11500 N. Mopac Expressway, Austin, Texas, U.S.A. 78759-3504 (Attention: Legal Department). 
C.   	"Software." Means the computer software programs provided with this Agreement and which are being installed together with all accompanying documentation, utilities, and driver interface software. If the SOFTWARE is part of a NI suite product, the term SOFTWARE means all of the applicable NI software programs comprising the applicable suite (including all accompanying documentation, utilities, and driver interface software) you have acquired. SOFTWARE includes all Upgrades that may be provided by NI and all Multiple Access Software. Driver interface SOFTWARE means the installed combination of any National Instruments driver interface binary code (e.g., any combination of NI-488, NI-488.2, NI-DAQ, NI-VXI, NI-VISA, etc.) as may be installed on your computer. 
D.  	"Upgrade." Means any supplemental or replacement code for computer software you have previously licensed from NI. 
E.  	"Authorized Applications." Means only those applications that you create with development versions of the SOFTWARE that you have validly licensed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any application created with the SOFTWARE acquired under an evaluation license is not an Authorized Application. 

2.    Grant of License. In consideration of payment of the applicable fees to NI, NI is willing to provide you with a limited, non-exclusive right to use the SOFTWARE, but only pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The SOFTWARE is in "use" when loaded into temporary memory (i.e., RAM) or installed into permanent memory (e.g., hard disk, CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, network storage device, or other storage device). Except as expressly provided under the named user license, floating, concurrent, or shared use is not permitted under this Agreement (i.e., allocating an individual license or one named user of a volume license to non-simultaneous use of the SOFTWARE (in whole or part) on multiple machines). The specific use rights granted you are as follows and depend upon the type of license you have acquired: 
A.  	Named User License. If you have acquired a named user license, you must designate in writing (through the NI registration process) one (1) named user for the license (the “Named User”). The SOFTWARE may be installed on up to three computers in a single workplace of the designated Named User. Only the designated Named User, however, may use or otherwise run the SOFTWARE and the SOFTWARE may not be run concurrently (i.e., it may only be in launched on one computer at a time). At your discretion, you may convert a named user license to a single seat license whereupon the SOFTWARE may only be installed and used on one (1) computer in your workplace. While all of the SOFTWARE must be installed and used on the same computer under a single seat license, there is no limitation on the number of your personnel that may access and use the Software on such computer. Regardless of whether the software is used under a named user license or a single seat license, in no event may any of the SOFTWARE be installed or used on a network storage device.  If you have a VLP license (as defined below) and you want to convert named user licenses to single seat licenses, you must give written notice to NI so that NI can send you a new license file reflecting the revised  number of named user licenses.  You may transfer a  named user license to another designated user provided that no more than four (4) such transfers may occur per year.  Once a designated Named User has transferred their license to a new user, such new user must reregister with NI the named user license in their own name.
B.   	Volume/VLP License. If you have acquired the right to use the SOFTWARE for multiple users under the Volume License Program license ("VLP"), you shall install and use the Volume License Manager software tool ("VLM") provided to you by NI and you may distribute the master installation disk(s) containing the SOFTWARE for internal installation and use only on those computers located at the Site(s). As part of the VLP, you will receive Support Services (as defined below) for the SOFTWARE. The "Notes" sub-section below contains important information and additional terms regarding the VLP. 
C.  	Multiple Access License. If the SOFTWARE you are using is: (i) NI's SDS software, (ii) NI's NI-488.2 software for GPIB-ENET or GPIB-ENET/100, or (iii) NI's FieldPoint Explorer software (individually or collectively, "Multiple Access Software"), you may install and use the SOFTWARE (including any or all versions thereof as provided by NI) on any number of computers or storage devices in your workplace solely for the purpose of accessing NI's serial device server hardware product in the case of NI's SDS software, solely for the purpose of accessing Ethernet to GPIB controllers in the case of NI's NI-488.2 software for GPIB-ENET or GPIB-ENET/100, and solely for the purpose of accessing FieldPoint serial or Ethernet network modules in the case of NI's FieldPoint Explorer software. 
D.	Debug License. If you have acquired a debug license, you must have licensed the applicable SOFTWARE components (as identified below) under a separate named user  or volume license with NI and you may now under the debug license install such SOFTWARE components on one (1) additional target production computer (for each debug license acquired). Each of the applicable components must be used on the same target production computer and solely for debug purposes only. In no event may you use the components for developing new programs (e.g., test sequences/modules, virtual instruments, etc.). Your debug license will immediately terminate should you use the components on more than one (1) target machine per each debug license or in any manner other than for debugging existing programs. If the SOFTWARE is TestStand, then the applicable components are: (i) the TestStand runtime execution engine for executing your sequences and the complete TestStand sequence editor development environment; and (ii) one (1) copy of LabVIEW and applicable software toolkits; and (iii) one (1) copy of LabWindows/CVI and applicable software toolkits. If the SOFTWARE is LabVIEW, then the applicable component is one (1) copy of LabVIEW and applicable software toolkits. If the SOFTWARE is LabWindows/CVI, then the applicable component is one (1) copy of LabWindows/CVI and applicable software toolkits. 
E. 	 Academic and LabVIEW Student Edition License. If the SOFTWARE is LabVIEW Student Edition, you have acquired a student edition license and may only use the SOFTWARE for personal education purposes and not for any other purpose, including research and commercial purposes. If you wish to acquire any other academic license (including one for research or classroom use), please contact an NI representative. 
F.   	Evaluation License. If you have acquired an evaluation license, you may install and use the SOFTWARE on computers in your workplace for internal evaluation purposes only. Your license is for your own internal use only. Therefore, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, you may not distribute or transfer any applications you create with the SOFTWARE. You also agree to use reasonable efforts to provide feedback to NI regarding your use of the SOFTWARE, including promptly reporting to NI errors or bugs that you might find. You also acknowledge and agree that the SOFTWARE IS EVALUATION ONLY AND/OR PRE-RELEASE SOFTWARE. AS SUCH, THE SOFTWARE MAY NOT BE FULLY FUNCTIONAL AND YOU ASSUME THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE RESULTS AND PERFORMANCE OF THE SOFTWARE. NI WILL NOT UPDATE THE SOFTWARE, NOR WILL NI SUPPORT THE SOFTWARE. THE SOFTWARE MAY CONTAIN CODE THAT WILL, AFTER A CERTAIN TIME PERIOD, DEACTIVATE THE SOFTWARE AND RENDER THE SOFTWARE UNUSABLE. ALTHOUGH THE SOFTWARE WILL ATTEMPT TO WARN YOU OF THE TIME-FRAME IN WHICH IT WILL BE DISABLED, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE SOFTWARE MAY BE DEACTIVATED OR RENDERED UNUSABLE WITH OR WITHOUT WARNING. Upon such deactivation, this Agreement will be considered terminated. Prior to deactivation of the SOFTWARE, you may contact NI to convert your evaluation license for the SOFTWARE to a named user license by paying to NI the applicable license fee and obtaining from NI the applicable authorization code(s). NI may (in its sole discretion and upon notice to you) terminate the evaluation license, whereupon this Agreement will be considered terminated. 
G.   Notes. The following applies to the VLP (Volume License Program): 
(1.)	Program Requirements. You shall designate a separate Software Administrator for each Site and shall promptly notify NI in writing of any changes to the Software Administrator(s). NI will deliver the master installation disks for the SOFTWARE and the VLM to the Software Administrator(s). The VLM shall be installed and used in accordance with the documentation that accompanies it. If you have existing individual, single seat or named user licenses for the SOFTWARE that are to be covered by the VLP, (i) you shall notify NI in writing of the product, platform, and serial number information for each such  license, (ii) each such license shall (as of the VLP Effective Date) no longer be in effect and shall be superseded by the VLP, and (iii) all individual serial numbers for each such license shall be cancelled and replaced by a single, common serial number assigned to the VLP. Regarding Support Services, NI reserves the right to restrict Support Services to the then most current version of the SOFTWARE that is commercially available. 
(2.)	Usage Compliance Reports. You shall ensure a Usage Compliance Report for each Site is provided to NI promptly (but in no event later than fifteen (15) days) following: (i) the annual anniversary of the VLP Effective Date during the term of the VLP and (ii) the VLP Termination Date. NI may upon notice to you inspect the Site(s) and applicable records in order to verify the accuracy of the Usage Compliance Reports. You shall pay any verified underpayments to NI within thirty (30) days of receipt of a written notice of such underpayments. Further, if you have underpaid, NI may require you to pay for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs actually incurred by NI in verifying the underpayment. 
(3.)	Purchase Orders; Invoices. You shall submit purchase orders to NI as follows: 
a.   in the amount of the Activation Fee within the time-frame specified in the quote provided by NI to you for the VLP; 
b.   in the amount of the Additional Named User Fees with each Usage Compliance Report; and 
c.   in the amount of the VLP Renewal Fees with each annual Usage Compliance Report if you desire to renew the VLP. 

Support Services are required for each Named User, are charged on an annual basis, and will only be pro-rated in those instances where you submit Usage Compliance Reports (together with purchase orders for the applicable Additional  Named User Fees) promptly following the date the SOFTWARE is installed for each additional Named User. All invoices shall be paid within thirty (30) days of the date you receive them.
(4.) 	Term. The initial term of the VLP will start on the VLP Effective Date and continue for a period of one (1) year. You may renew the VLP for additional one (1) year periods. Should you desire to renew the VLP for an additional one (1) year period, you must provide to NI at least sixty (60) days before the end of the then current term a current Usage Compliance Report so that the number of named users who use the Software may be determined. NI will then provide you with a quote for Support Services for the renewal period (the "VLP Renewal Fee"). NI reserves the right to revise the VLP Renewal Fee (as applicable) to reflect additional copies of the Software used and not reflected in the Usage Compliance Report you provided to NI at the time you desired to renew. The VLP will be renewed for an additional one (1) year period each time you issue to NI a purchase order for the VLP Renewal Fees no later than sixty (60) days following the annual anniversary of the VLP Effective Date. IF YOU DO NOT ISSUE A TIMELY PURCHASE ORDER FOR THE SUPPORT SERVICES, THE VLP WILL AUTOMATICALLY AND IMMEDIATELY TERMINATE. THE SOFTWARE AND VLM CONTAIN CODE THAT WILL, FOLLOWING TERMINATION OF THE VLP, DEACTIVATE YOUR ABILITY TO USE THE SOFTWARE UNDER THE VLP. ALTHOUGH THE VLM MIGHT ATTEMPT TO WARN YOU OF THE TIME-FRAME IN WHICH YOUR ABILITY TO ACCESS AND USE THE SOFTWARE WILL BE DISABLED, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE SOFTWARE MAY BE AUTOMATICALLY DEACTIVATED OR RENDERED UNUSABLE WITH OR WITHOUT WARNING UPON THE TERMINATION OF THE VLP. UPON TERMINATION OF THE VLP, (I) NI SHALL NO LONGER PROVIDE ANY SUPPORT SERVICES FOR THE SOFTWARE UNDER THE VLP, (II) EACH USE OF THE SOFTWARE FOR WHICH YOU HAVE PAID APPLICABLE NAMED USER FEES WILL AUTOMATICALLY (WITHOUT FURTHER ACTION ON NI'S PART) BE CONVERTED TO A SINGLE NAMED USER LICENSE, AND (III) YOU WILL BE REQUIRED TO PAY NI AN APPLICABLE ACTIVATION FEE SHOULD YOU LATER DESIRE TO RENEW THE VLP. NI WILL ATTEMPT TO PROVIDE YOU WITH AN UPDATED LICENSE FILE FOLLOWING TERMINATION OF THE VLP THAT WILL PERMIT YOU TO CONTINUE TO USE THE APPLICABLE NUMBER OF NAMED USER LICENSES FOR THE SOFTWARE. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY, HOWEVER, TO OBTAIN THIS LICENSE FILE FROM NI AND TO INSTALL AND USE THE LICENSE FILE TOGETHER WITH THE VLM SO THAT YOU MAY CONTINUE TO ACCESS AND USE THE APPLICABLE NUMBER OF NAMED USER LICENSES. FURTHER, SHOULD YOU LATER DESIRE TO OBTAIN UPGRADES FOR THE SOFTWARE, PURCHASE SUPPORT SERVICES FOR THE SOFTWARE, OR OBTAIN INDIVIDUAL SERIAL NUMBERS FOR APPLICABLE NAMED USER LICENSES OF THE SOFTWARE, YOU WILL BE REQUIRED TO PAY NI AN APPLICABLE FEE FOR EACH SUCH NAMED USER LICENSE. 
(5.) 	Additional Definitions. For purposes of the VLP, the following capitalized terms have the following meanings: 

"Activation Fee" means the amount specified in the applicable written quotation from NI that permits you to replace such of your existing individual, named user or single seat licenses for the SOFTWARE used at the Site as you may designate with a VLP and/or acquire a VLP at the Site for the number of named users (i.e., initial named users) listed in the written quotation from NI. The Activation Fee consists of a one-time license fee for initial named users and an annual per named user fee for Support Services.

Any replacement SOFTWARE will be warranted for the remainder of the original warranty period or thirty (30) days, whichever is longer. Some states/jurisdictions do not allow limitations on duration of an express or implied warranty, so the above or any other limitation provided herein may not apply to you. In such event, such warranties are limited to the minimum warranty period allowed by applicable law. You must obtain a Return Material Authorization number from NI before returning the SOFTWARE under warranty to NI and you agree to pay expenses for shipment to and from NI. The Limited Warranty is void if failure of the SOFTWARE has resulted from accident, abuse, misapplication, improper calibration by you, third party products (i.e., hardware or software) used by you which are not intended by NI for use with the SOFTWARE, utilization of an improper hardware or software key (if applicable), or unauthorized maintenance of the SOFTWARE. 

14.   Customer Remedies. NI's sole obligation (and your sole remedy) with respect to the foregoing Limited Warranty shall be to, at NI's option, return the fees paid or repair/replace the SOFTWARE, provided that NI receives written notice of applicable defects during the warranty period. You may not bring an action to enforce your remedies under the foregoing Limited Warranty more than one (1) year after the accrual of such cause of action. 
15.   No Other Warranties. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH ABOVE, THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, AND NO OTHER WARRANTIES, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED ARE MADE WITH RESPECT TO THE SOFTWARE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR ANY OTHER WARRANTIES THAT MAY ARISE FROM USAGE OF TRADE OR COURSE OF DEALING. NI DOES NOT WARRANT, GUARANTEE, OR MAKE ANY REPRESENTATIONS REGARDING THE USE OF OR THE RESULTS OF THE USE OF THE SOFTWARE IN TERMS OF CORRECTNESS, ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE AND DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE OPERATION OF THE SOFTWARE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR FREE. NI EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTIES NOT STATED HEREIN. 
16.   Intellectual Property Liability. NI shall, at its own expense, defend any claim resulting from your use of the SOFTWARE as authorized by your license to the extent that such claim alleges that the SOFTWARE infringes any patent, copyright, or trademark protected by the laws of the U.S.A., Canada, Mexico, Japan, Australia, Switzerland, Norway, or the European Union, provided that such claim does not arise from your use of the SOFTWARE in combination with equipment or devices not made by NI, or from any modification of the SOFTWARE not made by NI, and further provided that you notify NI in writing immediately upon your obtaining notice of such impending claim and your full cooperation with NI in preparing a defense. If you provide to NI the authority, assistance, and information NI needs to defend or settle such claim, NI shall pay any final award of damages or settlement with respect to such claim and any expense you incur at NI's written request, but NI shall not be liable for a settlement made without its prior written consent. If the SOFTWARE is held to be infringing of the rights stated above and the use thereof is enjoined or if NI believes the SOFTWARE may be held to infringe a third party's intellectual property rights, NI shall, at its option, either (i) procure for you the right to use the SOFTWARE, (ii) replace or modify the SOFTWARE with other software which does not infringe, or (iii) receive your return of the infringing SOFTWARE and refund to you the license fee payment(s) made by you to NI. The foregoing states your sole remedy for, and NI's entire liability and responsibility for, infringement of any patent, trademark, copyright, or other intellectual property right relating to the SOFTWARE. THIS LIMITED INDEMNITY IS IN LIEU OF ANY OTHER STATUTORY OR IMPLIED WARRANTY AGAINST INFRINGEMENT. THE FOREGOING INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS SHALL NOT APPLY TO ANY THIRD PARTY PRODUCTS INCORPORATED IN OR OTHERWISE PROVIDED WITH THE NI PRODUCTS, AND YOU AGREE TO LOOK TO THE APPLICABLE THIRD PARTY MANUFACTURER WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIMS FOR INFRINGEMENT INVOLVING THIRD PARTY PRODUCTS. 
17.   Limitation On Liability. The entire liability of NI and its licensors, distributors, and suppliers (including its and their directors, officers, employees, and agents) is set forth above. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall NI and its licensors, distributors, and suppliers (including its and their directors, officers, employees, and agents) be liable for any damages, including, but not limited to, any special, direct, indirect, incidental, exemplary, or consequential damages, expenses, lost profits, lost savings, business interruption, lost business information, or any other damages arising out of the use or inability to use the SOFTWARE, any technical support services relating to the SOFTWARE, or related hardware even if NI or its licensors, distributors, and suppliers has been advised of the possibility of such damages. You acknowledge that the applicable fees and prices reflect this allocation of risk. Because some states/jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, the above limitation may not apply. If the foregoing limitation of liability is not enforceable because the SOFTWARE, the services, or the hardware is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment to be defective and to have directly caused bodily injury, death, or property damage, in no event shall NI's liability for property damage exceed the greater of $50,000 (U.S.) or the license fee paid for the SOFTWARE. 
18.   Warning. (1) NI PRODUCTS ARE NOT DESIGNED WITH COMPONENTS AND TESTING FOR A LEVEL OF RELIABILITY SUITABLE FOR USE IN OR IN CONNECTION WITH SURGICAL IMPLANTS OR AS CRITICAL COMPONENTS IN ANY LIFE SUPPORT SYSTEMS WHOSE FAILURE TO PERFORM CAN REASONABLY BE EXPECTED TO CAUSE SIGNIFICANT INJURY TO A HUMAN. (2) IN ANY APPLICATION, INCLUDING THE ABOVE, RELIABILITY OF OPERATION OF THE SOFTWARE PRODUCTS CAN BE IMPAIRED BY ADVERSE FACTORS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO FLUCTUATIONS IN ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY, COMPUTER HARDWARE MALFUNCTIONS, COMPUTER OPERATING SYSTEM SOFTWARE FITNESS, FITNESS OF COMPILERS AND DEVELOPMENT SOFTWARE USED TO DEVELOP AN APPLICATION, INSTALLATION ERRORS, SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE COMPATIBILITY PROBLEMS, MALFUNCTIONS OR FAILURES OF ELECTRONIC MONITORING OR CONTROL DEVICES, TRANSIENT FAILURES OF ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS (HARDWARE AND/OR SOFTWARE), UNANTICIPATED USES OR MISUSES, OR ERRORS ON THE PART OF THE USER OR APPLICATIONS DESIGNER (ADVERSE FACTORS SUCH AS THESE ARE HEREAFTER COLLECTIVELY TERMED "SYSTEM FAILURES"). ANY APPLICATION WHERE A SYSTEM FAILURE WOULD CREATE A RISK OF HARM TO PROPERTY OR PERSONS (INCLUDING THE RISK OF BODILY INJURY AND DEATH) SHOULD NOT BE RELIANT SOLELY UPON ONE FORM OF ELECTRONIC SYSTEM DUE TO THE RISK OF SYSTEM FAILURE. TO AVOID DAMAGE, INJURY, OR DEATH, THE USER OR APPLICATION DESIGNER MUST TAKE REASONABLY PRUDENT STEPS TO PROTECT AGAINST SYSTEM FAILURES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO BACK-UP OR SHUT DOWN MECHANISMS.
